Allcargo Group company Gati has launched surface transhipment centres (STC) in Nagpur, Maharashtra, and Guwahati, Assam.
The launch of Nagpur and Guwahati STCs is in line with Gati’s plan to set up 12 modern, automated, and environmentally friendly STC. The company plans to launch more STCs in Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad to further strengthen its supply chain and warehousing competencies and networks.
Strategically located at Nagpur-Amravati Road, the Nagpur STC is spread over a 50,000 sq ft area and has the capacity to manage short-haul deliveries in western India and long-haul deliveries across the country.
The facility has adequate docks to turn around over 100 trucks daily and a throughput capacity of over 1,800 tonne per day. It will cater to multiple industries, including automotive, electrical equipment, apparel, heavy engineering, pharmaceutical, etc.
On the other hand, the Guwahati STC, strategically located at Gauripur industrial corridor, is around 40,000 sq ft and connected to the other parts of the country through National Highway. The arterial road offers congestion-free access to the STC. Equipped with modern infrastructure, enhanced warehousing capacity and 400 tonne of throughput capacity per day, the Guwahati STC builds cargo delivery efficiency for its clients in seven States - Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura.
Pirojshaw Sarkari, CEO, Gati, said, “With the economic growth gaining momentum, there is an increasing demand for well-equipped warehousing and shipment infrastructure across key locations in India. As part of our ESG initiatives, we have plans to convert our entire pickup and delivery fleet of more than 2000 vehicles to electric by 2025. The Nagpur STC, driven by that vision, will soon deploy EVs.”
